I know i should have thought of this earlier but i spent the day cleaning my i/c,then i put it all together and now dont know what kind of intercooler fuild i need to put in. Someone please help my retarded azz out. Thanks

 

50/50 mix of anti-freeze and distilled water.

 

Thanks, but how do you know how much is 1/2? How much fluid does it hold total?

 

If you pre-mix the coolant and water at 50/50 ratio you dont have to worry about the system capacity. Whatever you poor in it is at a 50/50 mix.

 

Thanks you sooo much, you guys are the best!!!

 

i did my yeasterday but i didnt use distilled water could this be an issue?

 

Distilled water just doesn't have the impurities that regular water has in it. Don't forget to add a bottle of water wetter, too. You could get away with 25/75 coolant/water in the summer time. Won't hurt the system. I know some people who run straight up water in the summer.

 

they sell 50/50 mix at most part stores now, so no need to by a gallon of distilled water AND a gallon of antifreeze unless youre a mad chemist!

 

What would happen if you put just the coolant without mixing it?

 

decreased heat transfer.

 

In other words... anti-freeze retains heat and water gets rid of it. That's why some run plain water during the summer... water wetter is a good idea in any case.

 

yeah stick a bottle of Red Line water wetter in there.

 

Ok so I should drain mine and add distilled water or water wetter. What exactly is water wetter? Isn't water already wet!!

 

Yeah, but Water Wetter breaks down surface tension and allows for more thermal transfer. It really, really works.

 

I think i am going to give it a try. Does the wetter need to be mixed or is it a substitute for distilled water?
